Devin Asiasi played 97 percent of New England’s offensive snaps (47 of 50) and finished without a catch on two targets. Both passes were off-target — one was behind Asiasi, the other was behind him and high — but hit him in the hands.

Asiasi also made an apparent error in pass protection, releasing into the flat too early after chipping blitzing safety Dean Marlowe.
